Pramkicker by Sadie Hasler

Jude is angry. Susie has a secret.

When Jude is arrested for kicking off in a café full of passive-aggressive "yummy mummies," she’s sent to Anger Management. Susie, determined to make sure Jude’s next jumpsuit isn’t one with a serial number, tags along. But Susie’s not just there for moral support—she’s also got something to get off her chest.

In this no-holds-barred, G&T-fueled D&M, the sisters dive into the mess of adulting, expectations of motherhood and a woman’s worth. It’s a middle finger to the labels we’re forced to wear, and a chance to figure out who the hell we are now we’re all grown up.

Sadie Hasler’s Pramkicker is first off the rank for Queensland Theatre’s Door 3 Program for 2025.

On Pramkicker:

"Pramkicker, became something of a melting pot for all the thoughts I had about All That Stuff, and a lot of thoughts I’d heard voiced by other women I know. It felt like a mess of conflicting concerns in my head that I needed to untangle – time and love and the human body and prospects and career and fulfilment and cherishing life and the possibilities and difficulties of all that – and writing is the only way I know how to go about trying to untangle anything. Writing is the way I process life, it’s how I understand, and more often now how I participate. Writing is what I do while and after I think and before I act. If I act".
